Valentines Day Edition: All Dolled Up

Want to look stunning for your mate on that special valentines date? I've got just the products for you to help prepare you for the night of your life. Valentines Day is a day to show your deepest affection and gratitude for the one that you love. Of course, their are those people who hate it and believe that you should show your love all 365 days of the year. I'm not here to take in part in that but rather to help you achieve that ravishing, all eyes on me look!

Shimmer
A great way to extenuate your lovable assets is to showcase them by giving them a beautiful glow. Every girl deserves to sparkle and with this shimmer you'll be flawless head to toe. I would recommend the Instant Bronzing Tinted Shimmer Lotion from Victoria's Secret. It costs about $15 and has Shea butter and vitamin E which conditions and infuses the skin. A little goes a long way with this stuff! If you want to make your cleavage stand out be sure to get in between the middle of where your breasts meet and rub outwards creating a heart shaped appearance. You can also use this on your legs (wear heels for the ultimate experience) which gives your legs a sexy and sultry goddess look!

Facial
 You'll be awfully close to your lover when it's time for a good night kiss at the door. Want your skin to feel as soft as it did right after a visit to the spa? It's time to give your face a little TLC at home! A great masque to use is Queen Helene Mint Julep. This masque works miracles all while unclogging pores to give your skin a clean polished appearance. It gives your face a rush of tingling, cool, and refreshing effects that help with various skin types. After using this masque it is best to follow up with an ice masque (view my previous post) to freeze your pores and dismiss any breakouts that plan to ruin your big night. Last, this is where the skin softener really comes into play. Rub a pea sized amount of coconut oil on your face and watch it be soaked up by your skin. This is the best way to pamper your skin for dirt cheap and following this routine will assure that your face will be ready for anything that comes its way.

Hair
Having trouble deciding on how you should wear your hair? Always aim for something fun and flirty. I love a high bun! This hair style is so versatile and quick to achieve. You can never go wrong with a bun, its classy and can be worn in different spots. For example, a low loose bun or a high slicked back bun, these are just a few of the many ways you can switch up the "bun". Not feeling the bun? That's fine! How about a foxy curlicious fro? This is simple and styling doesn't require much. It screams I'm a natural woman and proud of it. If you don't want a curly fro you can always incorporate a braid in the front and twist/pin the curls for a more elegant look. Whichever hair style you choose be sure it is something you can definitely be yourself in.

I hope these tips help and inspire you! Remember to mix and match by adding your own flavor to something and most importantly.....have fun! Have a Happy Valentines Day filled with lots of love!

LOVE,

YOHANA :)
